    They just promised themselves more.
    John and Quiet are a good duo. It just feels like this road trip lasts forever. There are some lengths creeping into the episodes and that pulls the show down tremendously.
    Positively stands out Sweet Tooth who with his special style represents the humorous part of the series.
    There's no more like 5/10 in there.

    There is this thing about Video Games and adaptations which makes us believe it will hurt the source material. The Source is Not the best in terms of narration and its all about shooting eachother with your car.

    However, Upon watching the show, the acting would be on par with a typical Syfy original series. I believe it's on par with shows like Z Nation, which might have a cult following if given a chance, but overall this show is already starting at low expectations. My advice, play the games again and understand you're getting what you deserve, just more back story than you might have asked for.    … Expand

    It all feels very brash and attention-seeking, like the TV equivalent of a lime-green hatchback doing late-night doughnuts in a supermarket car park. But, if you can tune in to Twisted Metal’s motormouth wavelength of childish exuberance, it is certainly a fun ride.

    Twisted Metal the TV show is brought to the screen by the producers of the Deadpool movies starring Ryan Reynolds, and holds true to its pixelated predecessor’s manic qualities. .... Mackie and Beatriz have a matey chemistry and their characters’ cautious friendship gives the series its emotional core.

    Its general mode of operating is to put in whatever seems cool and fun and silly and sick and leave out anything that does not meet those parameters. Yes to: guns, cars, sardonic needle drops, wisecracks, blood, sex, flash, grime, the sound of tires on pavement, shit that looks dope. No to: quietness, finicky world-building, thinking too hard about the limitations of the human body, complex motivations, depth, taking stuff too seriously, man.
